<p class="bodytext">When somebody sends an e-mail message to an e-mail address that does not exist under your domain, the mail server, by default accepts mail, processes it, and when it finds out that there is no such a recipient under the domain, it returns the mail back to sender with the &quot;this address no longer accepts mail&quot; notice. You can choose to:</p>
<ul class="listbullet"><li class="listbullet">Change the default notice if you do not like it,</li><li class="listbullet">Forward all such mail to the desired e-mail address, </li><li class="listbullet">Reject such mail without accepting it and without notifying senders. <p class="listcontinue">This setting can decrease mail server load caused by a large amount of spam, which is often sent to randomly generated user names. However, for spammers, this can somewhat speed up scanning your mail server for valid e-mail addresses.</p>
</li></ul><p class="procedureheading">To configure the site-wide settings for handling mail to nonexistent users: </p>
